Seagen

Infrastructure System Ownership

Seagen has a need to have a full understanding of the infrastructure systems that support their R&D and manufacturing facilities. The industry model for this to assign infrastructure systems to engineers within the Real Estate and Facilities (REF) Engineering Center of Excellence (COE). These engineers would be responsible for understanding their assigned systems. Seagen currently does not have this program developed and implemented. This has been due to limited time and resources. Seagen has extensive experience on how to establish and maintain a program like this. This student team worked to develop this program alongside Seagen’s REF Engineering COE experienced engineering staff. With Seagen engineers, this student team worked to develop a project charter, system priorities, determine which data to collect, provide data analytics direction for the monthly status meetings, and deliverables. Infrastructure systems are assigned to facilities engineers. This student team worked to: 1. Develop a charter 2. Develop building and infrastructure system priority – We will use building B8 on the North Creek (NC) site the pilot project to work through the process before taking on all sites and buildings. NC will be the manufacturing facility to implement the program after the pilot project is completed and lessons learned have been implemented into the program documentation. 3. Develop a priority of the systems to address in phases 4. Document the design basis of each system 5. Document the current available capacity for the infrastructure systems 6. Review each system for reliability risks 7. Identify future projects to mitigate the risks in item 4. 8. Propose an agreed upon frequency of review 9. Propose the format of review, KPIs to monitor, data analytics approach, BPI dashboard, etc. Anticipated outcomes this student team worked to generate include system documents that summarize: 1. Basis of design 2. Current operating parameters 3.Reliability and Risk analyses 4. Summary document for presentation to others 5. Dashboard that summarizes all the above items per system
